I think the other problem the series has had is that it has not had a strong driver line up in the past or even full grids, so winning the championship has not necessarily been an indicator of a drivers ability. Furthermore the Indy Car teams appeared to have had little interest in the series. Both these situations have changed this season with a reasonable number of competeitive driver competing and several Indy Car teams being actively involved. It is in a way a little bit like the old F3000 series and the new GP2 Championship situation, where two championship winning drivers have moved to F1 in the last couple of years. For sure if no one gets an opportunity in Indy Car next year they forefit the right to say that Indy Pro is the "Fast track to Indy"
